Subject: RE: Off-season Irish traditional festivals
Unfortunately, Mr. Munelly passed recently. However, the Clare Festival of Traditional Singing (November 9-11, 2007) seems to be going forward. We've been to Clare in November, and it's empty of tourists.

Founded in 1990 the Clare Festival of Traditional Singing promotes an interest in unaccompanied traditional singing with lectures, concerts, recitals and a multitude of informal sessions. The Festival also provides formal performances by the finest traditional singers from throughout the country. It is rightly regarded as the premier non-competitive Irish and English language singing event in Ireland.
